Guess I'm slacking at getting my Christmas decorations up and lights turned on. There are some people who have their lights on before I do! I have a rule of thumb though, I only turn the lights on once there's snow on the ground. There was but it all melted. Hopefully it cools down. It's not suppose to be in the positives in freaking November! Damn global warming.

There's a whole bunch of burnt bulbs too, I'll have to go replace them.

Yeah think I will eventually switch to LED. I just find the sets are made soooo cheap now and the LED bulb themselves are very dim, and don't use a proper bridge rectifier so they flicker at 60hz. The clips barely even fit on the gutters without breaking. Still a fan of the old style C9's. Though, at 7w per bulb, and 25 bulbs per strand, they arn't exactly energy friendly. :awe:

Last time I tried LED was several years ago so they may have improved.
